winning the war as a libyan rebels earn foreign recognition and access to cut off the assets but their fire a struggle to get the brits on the ground. plus the west's anti wallet as america and the eurozone brace to save their collapsing economies in the face of soaring debt and bombing credits force. one pm of the russian capital you're watching r t on marina joshing the operation to lift the cruiser which sank last sunday in a volga river is about to start it's still unclear why the boat went down quickly dragging half of those on board to their deaths tom harkin's following developments on the banks of the volga river a nearby. we're in the initial stages of quite a complex operation to try and raise the sunken dog area which will hopefully help

to reveal where the remaining bodies that haven't been found yet are and hopefully provide the answer as to why the ship sank and sank so fast at the moment a dive platform a few kilometers into the river behind me boats keep ferrying for a foot from the base camp here taking divers and crews out to that platform where two huge cranes and been brought up from volgograd further downstream down the river and those cranes have now been used to attach cables to enormous cables around the bottom of the sunken bowl garia now the complications that there are with lifting the ship are all pretty much due to things that happened in those few disastrous minutes last sunday and the first is that the ship when it when it sank and then fell to the bottom it fell on to its left side which mean it means that there could be bodies trapped underneath the left side of that ship and it's also going to need to be righted so it's it's on an even keel before they can lift it

was on the first stages of all fastening the cooling cords and then we stabilized the keel after that we raise the ship and finally we transported to dock and most important part is putting the slings in place and making sure they are fixed properly we spend most of our time for a period asked for the looting itself it was take very long so as you heard there all the all the importances in the ground work of preparing the lifting another very important moment is going to be when they just start to lift the ship they're going to try and send the divers in to search for essentially for the hole that left the water and whatever managed to to sit to sink the ship and when the divers find out they're going to have to repaired up hold and pump all the water out before they can lift a zip so in both of those operations they met that may also at the same time hopefully provide answers as to where these remaining fifteen bodies are and also the answer to every. talking about white ships and a mountain of cuddly toys never to be played. they are the flowers and candles

a testament to the children among those who drowned on the pleasure boat to bulgaria sank in the volga last sunday. the most we studied together for a year she never had arguments with anyone sure as a very kind girl and was always ready to help. the ship sank in just three minutes turning a summer afternoon on the river into a scene of horror i didn't like is that people were basically buried alive anti-matter coffin he managed to get out through the windows i was there with my ten year old daughter i couldn't rescue her she swallowed too much water when i was pulled out i realized my child was gone in the chaos to escape and many other families were also torn apart one five year old boy lost his mother and grandmother

and was only kept afloat by a man who grabbed his hand another man unable to hold on to his son in the strong current oil slicks had to watch him drown in front of him yuri was the deejay for the disco on the bottom deck he only just managed to escape. and i remember clearly that water was rising very quickly it was a matter of seconds i survived because we saw broken window in the cellar started pushing people legs through it but that moment when we opened the surface and then saw that the boat was already underwater. over half the bulgaria's two hundred eight passengers and crew including the captain and his wife and child never made it out meanwhile as the arabella another pleasure boat arrived at the scene she was surrounded by people screaming and drowning unable to reach the banks of the vast river three cars. thomas's way. as we approached it was hard to distinguish in the

dark water people who were alive from the rubble that was floating around people were in panic when we rescued them in a state of shock some suffering from other traumas they were all covered in oil fuel that was leaking from the sunken ship it was a terrifying picture i have to say despite a huge search and rescue operation after the initial survivors were picked up a few hours before. the divers in cranes working in this water had been trying to recover just something of the lives lost and families destroyed in those few terrible minutes but they've also been working on the question of cost so much why did the bulgaria sink and sink so fast. as the list of bodies recovered from the ship grew so did the number of revelations about an ageing dangerous and badly managed vessel eyewitnesses people connected with the ship came forward with damning accounts of its poor condition and the stingy management who forced it to keep sailing. i became captain of the vessel in two thousand and seven ship hadn't

even been renovated for a while before that there were big problems with the engines and power generators repeatedly mention that to the management and even had an argument with them port authorities say they were lied to the ship was only supposed to carry one hundred forty people but was loaded with over two hundred they were told it was carrying twenty more tales of bound including a broken engine electricity generators failing so that no s.o.s. signal or tunnel instructions could be issued and blocked emergency exits criminal cases have been opened and arrests been made to the bulgaria simpler and more controversially into white to ships which reached the scene before the hour didn't pick up a single person reports the crew members instead to prove their mobile phones. is a. pass. because we're sure there were groups of people in iraq many

hundreds cuts and injuries that were bleeding or you know for how i sold the goods prices by any different direction towards. a slow process of raising the bulgaria has no start it up with it will come the potential for since it all so terrible memories in particular associated with the ships plane or a group of children were gathered when the ship sunk. just some of the young victims in what will go as one of russia's worst most avoidable shipping disasters . bottom part. the captain of a ship that saved seventy seven people from drowning of all the river has been talking to our team we'll bring you his account of what happens next hour right he's been following the intense search and recovery operation over the past seven days we can stay in touch with what's happening by visiting our team dot com or our you tube channel we're also hosting developments on our twitter stream our facebook

a little better in you are with italy now the focus of stopping the euro zone heading into oblivion rome's approved tough so many billion euro cuts package to avoid debt it's the euro zone's third largest economy and could prove too big for its neighbors. meanwhile eight out of nineteen european banks have failed stress tests to see if they could survive another financial crisis economics professional patrick montford says some e.u. countries may have to accept this gold as wealthier nations no longer want to pay for their cost the rest of. the money we've known all along that a lot of banks in europe north would not stressed these stress tests included the possibility of sovereign default because of course they've got loads of greek and portuguese and spanish debt and so there was never any question but one of the reasons why it might be in germany's interest to bail out greece is that it's if it doesn't it's going to have a banking crisis of its own and will have to bailout its own banks but i think the

the judgment of the taxpayer is they'd rather by their own buying if they have to then keep on giving money to greeks who may never get to give it back to them so there's no bailout really in prosperity by easy rich northern countries and therefore the other countries have to think of some way of getting by and that's going to be default. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world to new zealand police used tear gas and shot rounds into the air to disperse a crowd who torched a police station in the capital the clash followed an incident on friday when security forces fired tear gas to break up a demonstration in a mosque in the city many tunisians remain unhappy with the way interim leaders are ruling the country since january's revolution that ousted president ben ali. egypt's foreign minister has resigned out of a massive reshuffle spurred by renewed public protests the only man in the job for

a democracy so long as it's an apartheid state so long as it has terms or flaws discriminating between its jewish another jewish citizens so long as it denies millions of palestinian refugees the right to return home as it continues with its occupation of the west bank including his troops alone as well as gaza so a country committing such violations of international law and of basic human rights cannot call itself a democracy professor. historian maybe that's right when he said that israel is that hard for which is a democracy only for the master class and not for everyone if anything israel is going it's really pushing first forward in digging the grave of its occupation under apartheid as long as palestinian rights are not respected by israel as well as the occupation continues apartheid continues then i look refugee right continuous palestinians have no choice but to continue to resist to continue to struggle in the struggle for land rights in israel there is one place that still
